In this activity, learners construct cars that are powered by hand-made, electric propellers.

In this activity, learners construct a projector out of cardboard to view their favorite images (such as storybook illustrations) on the wall.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing tube zithers, stringed instruments from Southeast Asia and the South Pacific.

In this earth science activity, learners conduct a series of short experiments to explore how rocks change.

In this activity, learners watch a figure "magically" float up through the air.

In this activity, learners build an electromagnet using a nail, a cork, a battery, and electrical wire. Use this activity to demonstrate how electric currents produce magnet fields.

In this activity, learners construct a paper glider to experiment with aerodynamic forces.

In this activity, learners build a speedboat using paint paddles, a propeller, and film canister. Learners attach a simple circuit and motor to the boat to power the propellers.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing their very own instruments using PVC pipes, soda bottles, and a straw.

Build your own version of a favorite carnival game, in which a marble races down a maze consisting of rows of nails.

In this activity, learners build their own sound machines and explore the interplay of motion and sound.

In this activity, learners build magnetic towers to explore the forces and properties of magnets.

In this activity, learners build a cuica or chirping bird using straw, string, and a bottle cap. Use this activity to explore the interplay of motion and sound.

In this activity, learners construct a device that projects images onto a surface, so they can trace landscapes and other sights.

Learners build a yo-yo using a piece of wood, PVC pipe, and string. In doing so, learners explore the force of gravity and angular momentum.

In this activity, learners build rockets and shoot them into the air by stomping on the plastic bottle launchers.

In this activity, learners build a switch to turn electrical circuits on and off.

In this activity, learners construct a traditional handicraft toy that illustrates a motion commonly associated with violins and earthquakes.

In this activity, learners construct three math puzzles out of simple materials like wood, string, and Styrofoam.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing their very own bagpipe instrument.
